Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a 2002 open-world action game developed by Rockstar North, a stylish crime story set in a neon-soaked, 1980s-inspired city modeled on Miami. It follows Tommy Vercetti, voiced by Ray Liotta, as he builds a criminal empire from the ground up after a drug deal goes wrong and leaves him stranded.

The game built on its predecessor with a stronger sense of place and character, a huge licensed soundtrack of 1980s music spread across themed radio stations, and new features such as ridable motorcycles, purchasable businesses and properties that generated income, and flyable aircraft. Its distinctive atmosphere, memorable voice cast, mission variety and cinematic influences drawn from films like Scarface gave it an enduring identity.

Vice City is remembered as one of the most beloved entries in the series, and it has been re-released and remastered across many platforms, allowing new players to experience its vivid, music-driven recreation of the 1980s.
